Definition and meaning of Hinduism

Hinduism - [World History]

Hinduism evolved from an ancient Aryan religion and blended the beliefs of peoples conquered by the Aryans. It is a religion and philosophy based on one supreme force, Brahma, and other gods including Vishnu and Shiva. Brahma created the world, Vishnu preserves it and Shiva is the destructive force. Each individual has a soul which forms part of the universal soul, atman. Hindus strive to free their soul from its individual existence so it can unite with atman. This takes more than one lifetime, and reincarnation continues until the soul is freed. Hinduism is practiced primarily in India today although a form exists on the Indonesian island of Bali.

Hinduism: It is both a civilization and a community of religions; it has no beginning or founder, nor a central authority, hierarchy, or organization. Every attempt to define Hinduism has proved to be unsatisfactory in one way or another.  It embraces one god and many gods, it is unique, but acknowledges many paths to one truth.
